邁剋爾·劉易斯,美國超級暢銷書作傢,畢業於美國普林斯頓大學和英國倫敦經濟學院,曾任所羅門兄弟公司的債券交易員,後為《紐約時報》撰稿,並擔任英國《觀察傢周刊》的美國版編輯。他的成名作《說謊者的撲剋牌》被公認是描寫20世紀80年代華爾街文化的經典名作,書中的精彩片段被各種媒體廣泛引用,對美國商業文化産生瞭重大影響。還著有《錢球》、《盲邊》以及《住房遊戲》。
The #1 New York Times bestseller: a brilliant account—character-rich and darkly humorous—of how the U.S. economy was driven over the cliff. When the crash of the U. S. stock market became public knowledge in the fall of 2008, it was already old news. The real crash, the silent crash, had taken place over the previous year, in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn’t shine, and the SEC doesn’t dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can’t pay their debts. The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren’t talking.
The crucial question is this: Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 best-selling Liar’s Poker . Who got it right? he asks. Who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become, and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception? And what qualities of character made those few persist when their peers and colleagues dismissed them as Chicken Littles? Out of this handful of unlikely—really unlikely—heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our times.
要我挑出来一个最喜欢的商业书作者,就是迈克尔·刘易斯了吧。看完了他写的每一本书。买《The big short》这本书的时候还在Berkeley,其实是有机会去采访他的,在一个什么见面会上,那时候还不知道他要出新书,如果去听会,居然要付6美金,够我买两瓶红酒喝,就放弃了。...

評分Hard to do a better job on this otherwise boringly dry and artificially distorted topic.
评分感覺電影比書好看。 :)
评分看完原著就覺得電影版能拍成那樣相當不容易瞭
评分The book scrutinizes the subprime mortgage crisis by telling the stories of several typical Wall Street investors. As inspiring as their experiences are (how they grew from scratch not how they screwed the system), I would prefer a book that discusses the crisis, by and large.
评分讓人心煩意亂…
